Ark's Ark

The arrival of 1.1.2.4 saw me freed from my imprisonment in the Lacheish Plains, and once more did I begin my criss-crossing of Hyboria in the name of Mitra. My meteoric levelling has not abated, and I am now level 37!

While the Lacheish Plains may have ceased entrapping unwitting victims, there is a similar issue with the Fields of the Dead. Luckily, I don’t have much of a need to travel there yet, and I trust that it will be fixed by the time I need to spend any serious time there. The trader is STILL disabled, and I hear that player cities are not providing their intended bonuses to their guilds, so my haste to start building has been replaced with a patient calm. There is another update due tonight, so I’m looking forward to seeing the patch notes for it. Hopefully it also fixes the exploit that allowed one guild on a PvP server to destroy another guild’s entire town!

I am no longer alone in the Green Lodge! Two old friends from previous games have traversed time and space to join me, and there are more on the way. It’s nice to not be a guildmaster of a guild of one any more.

Below (belatedly, as I was trying to find out the version number.) are the Age of Conan patch notes for the update of the 23rd of May.
